Classical. funior Histaru. 9 9 r came to pass in those da ' s, even in the year of our Lord, 1 90 1 , that when the spring was upon the land, and the leaves and grass and all green things began to come forth, that all those who had come up out of the great tribulations of Prepdom, and had thirty-nine preparatory credits opposite their names in the Regis- trar ' s Book of Life, were all in one accord gathered together in one place. And first one opened his mouth and spake and then another, and peradventure several spake at the same time and there was much babel and great confusion of voices. But in the space of an hour or two they came forth, and lo! it was a Freshman Class, and there was the sound of many voices in the land and much rejoicing. And it came to pass that moons waxed and waned and verily I say unto you, our verdant Freshmen were diligent in the business of others and to iheir own affairs paid they little heed; for after this manner do all Freshmen, and they grew and prospered and many flunked not. And those who did not flunk were gathered together in the month which is called March, in the second year of the reign of King Daniel, in the room of Peter surnamed Reynolds. And it was eventide and much was to be done. And behold a new class was formed which was called Sopho- more and a woman was chosen to be leader whose was called Ada Rebecca Colbert. And it came to pass that the days of her reign were filled with warfare and bloodshed; for in those days the Fresh- menites gathered together their army and smote the Sophomores with a hose and likewise with cayenne pepper. Now the Sophomores were exceeding wroth and being mighty men of valor, they went forth up- on the campus and smote the Freshmenites to the right and to the left, so that great consternation fell upon them and they fled into outer darkness where there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. In like manner overcame the Sophomores all their enemies and be- came powerful in the land. Now the days of the reign of Oueen Ada Rebecca were three hundred and sixty and five, and they were filled with prosperity, for she was a great leader among the people. But it came to pass that the name of the tribe was changed to Junior and a new ruler was chosen. And the people all with one accord chose Charles Henry Ambler, for he was great in wisdom and understanding. Now be- cause the Freshmenites and other barbarian hordes had been put un- der subjection in the reign of Queen Ada Rebecca and because the fear of the Juniors was great in the land, the reign of King Charles Henry was filled with peace and the people were left to follow their chosen pursuits. And it came to pass that there was a great Revival of Learning, and the Junior who in former years had relied upon his skill in horsemanship to carry him through the contests which, ac- cording to the law of the Scribes, came at the end of each term, now depended upon his intellectual strength, thereby accumulating much knowledge. And of a truth is it known that the juniors hold places in the seats of the mighty. Thev are found among the learners in English; .they are numbered with the sweet singers in the Glee Club; they dis- seminate news, for verily one of them is editor of a periodical, even the Athenaum. Yea also lend they their talents to the Monongalian. They sit in the halls of science; and to warfare are they not unknown for a Junior commandeth an army. And finally, brethren, the time draweth near when all men shall know the Junior, for he striveth after whatsoever things are right and good and to him shall be wisdom and power and to his Alma Mater glory and honor forever.

Casto M l was elected President of the Freshman Class. This marked the beginning of a new era in the history of class organizations of the West Virginia University. Class spirit which is so conspicious in the larger institutions, but which for manv years had been buried and forgotten at W. V. U., burst forth like a volcano and spread its shadow over the whole student body. Classic old Woodburn Hall fairly rocked and swayed with the yells of the lusty Freshmen. Eloquent words poured forth from the lips of Pres. Casto and burning their way into our hearts, set fire to the feelings which had been so long dormant. A revolution was going on and from this revolution stepped forth the Class ' 05, hopeful, confident, expectant, and on their lips the Motto: Loyalty and Devotion to our Class. The officers elected at this meeting were: President, C. E. Casto; Vice President, F. C. Flenniken; Secretary, J. S. Keely; Treasurer, lona P. Miller; Poet, Joe Buchannon; Historian, Earl Morgan; Yell Master, Bert Ingram; Track Manager, T. W. Haymond. This was the first class to elect a Yell Master and Track Manager. Along in the night, when industrious, fame seeking ' 04 ' s were diligently pouring over their books, some loyal Freshies hung on Woodburn Hall a large banner on which was inscribed the legend ' 05. Well do we remember the consternation it caused in 04 circles and the wonderment and awe with which the Preps gazed at it. And we don ' t think the ' 04 ' s will forget the day either. Bruised and bleed- ing knuckles, buttonless coats and necktieless collars, all being souve- nirs of the occasion. The occasion was the attempt of the ' 04 ' s to take down our banner. But their troubles did not end here. When they attempted to hold a meeting, naughty-five turned the hose on them and tried to impress upon or rather soak it into them, that naughtj ' -five was still on deck and anxious to prove in the old university fashion, a class fight, their right to be called a class organization. Strange isn ' t it, that the Freshmen were the aggressors and put the Sophs on the defensive, but nevertheless it is true. But some mischievous ' 05 ' s thinking perhaps that our importance had not been impressed indelibly on the minds of the students, pro- fessors, janitors and others, frescoed on the face of the clock the let- ters ' 05 and there it is to this day a reminder of the lofty summits from which ' 05 waved her banner. It was late in the collegiate year, Tuesday, February 10, 1903, that we, as full fledged Sophomores, got together and elected officers. Thomas W. Haymond, of Bristol, was elected president of the class. Tom is well known by all the students and especially popular among his classmates. Although up to the time this goes to press we Sophs have done nothing to cause the janitor to lose any sleep or the Disciplinary Committee to assimilate, yet we feel sure that before the year is over we will have initiated the verdant Freshmen into the Mystic Order of United Snipe Hunters and will have given the Juniors a prod or two to help them along. The Sophomore Class is represented in all the Departments of the University. In the Cadet Corps are found three captains, three lieutenants, three sergeants, and privates galore. In the staff of the Athenaeum, four Sophs contribute each week. Sophomores take part in all kinds of athletics — base ball, foot ball, basket ball, track team. And three members of the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association are Sophs. In the Literary So- cieties and other organizations of the University ' 05 ' s always take a prominent part. You will find Sophs at all social functions; they dance with the prettiest, talk to the wittiest, and make love to them all. Several from our ranks are in the Campus Class. This class which meets at 10:30 sharp is the most popular class in the Univer- sit} ' , not only because its instructor in the Fall term was a Soph, but also because its membership is open to all students. Preps (not wanted, but those over twenty-one will be accepted upon a written permit from their parents), Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors and even Post-Grads are enrolled in this class. Perhaps this history, if such it may be called, has been written in a vain, egotistical manner; but if you don ' t blow your own horn, who will? Surely not the Juniors and we feel certain the Seniors are too busy tuning their own instruments to pay any attention to us. And now may ' 05 cover itself with as much more glory in the next two years as it has in the last two, and when its members have graduated and entered into the responsibilities of life, may they be in the front ranks of their professions, and on the scroll of honor may there be found many names of the Class ' 05. — Historian.

History cannot He, therefore it is impera- tive upon us, being bound by laws and traditions which have existed from a time wherof the memory of men runneth not to the contrary, that we write the truth, the whole truth, and noth- ing but the truth, reserving to ourselves to write otherwise, if we so desire. In every great school, university, or institution of any kind, there is some central figure or body, around which all others gather. That central body in the West Virginia University is the Senior Law Class. If it was not for this class the University would be comparatively unknown. But we are assured by the best authority that this notorious law class has succeeded in advertising our University even away down in Charleston. But enough about our greatness! Let us see if we can find the secret of our greatness. The second floor of the new wing of Wood- burn Hall is the amphitheatre of the V est Virginia University; within its halls, between classes (acts), trained gladiators from the Senior Law class meet in deadly combat the wild and ferocious animals of the Junior class. Here is placed the only gate, opening tc the realms of music above, and sweet voiced singers must pass in and out at this gate on their holy mission. If one will wander to this hall at almost any time from 8:30 a. m. to 12:30 p. m., he will be forcibly impressed with the mental, moral and physical courage of the senior law students, from the vigilant watch they keep, and when a lady is seen coming down the hall, with what manliness, they meet those terrible juniors. For an eloquent account of this see, Dean Wrightson ' s Speech from the Stairs, Vol. 2, page 721. Our greatest virtue is our Christian spirit, always ready to pro- tect the weak and shield the wrong doer by taking his wiongs upon ourselves. This is well illustrated by our conduct all through the trying scenes of January 16, and their results. On that day we came together to hear Col. Frazer on our constitution and with us came representatives of the faculty, a motley horde of juniors, in fact, rep- resentatives from almost every class in the University. The bars of Bluefield and Morgantown were there. Democracy sent W. J. Bryan, Pugdom John L. Sullivan, and antiquity sent John Doe and Richard Roe. With all this infiux of foreign element, it is not strange that exciting scenes should follow. But our Colonel was a brave and gallant leader. Amid the crashing of furniture, the whizzing of marbles through the air, the falling of brick, and with the i oor strewn with bodies of men, he lectured right on and clearly demon- strated that ours was the greatest government on earth. We are a law and order class and hold it to be a settled rule that you should never shove a fellow student in the halls, unless he is not looking, nor without shoving him as hard as you can. It is also against the rule to hit a professor or policeman with a snow ball, unless he is not looking; and if you get suspended from the University, quit coming to school, or get out an injunction. With all our notorious record, we hold it to be true, that this class has taken a marked stand for the right. Before you condemn us, remember the heritage that has come down to us through past years; and upon an impartial comparison of our record with that of classes of former years we rest our reputation. Before closing we would offer our sincere thanks to the members of the law faculty, who, by their ability, integrity and noble character, have led us so faithfully through our course of study. To our fellow classmates we would advise in the words of Judge Story : Be brief; be pointed; let your matter stand, Lucid in order, solid, and at hand; Spend not your words on trifles, but condense; Strike with the mass of thought, not drops of sense; Press to the close with vigor, once begun. And leave — how hard the task! — leave off when done. Who draws a labored length of reasoning out, Puts straws in line for winds to whirl about; Who draws a tedious tale of learning o ' er, Counts but the sands on ocean ' s boundless shore. Victory in law is gained as battles fought. Not by the numbers, but the forces brought. Historian. (Officrrs. I ' l-esidciit, F. R. Yoke, LL. B. V;rc Pn,!,hnt. Thomas H. Shannon, D. fiirrdar; .

She feels a pride in her magnificent buildings, her library, her glee club, her preps, and many other things too numerous to mention. But she feels prouder of her Junior law class than all else together, and justly so. Never before in the history of the school has she been able to pat herself on the back and say, That is a model class. This class is the bone and sinew of the University. Just where these youths ( ?) came from is a mystery, but there is no doubt but that they are descended from some of the oldest families in the world. Some trace their descent back to St. Patrick; some claim kin with Queen Isabella of Spain; others can trace their descent back to Abraham; while man ' more can trace their ancestry back to the ffood where there seems to be a missing link. Possibly in their haste to get out of the wet their ancestors overlooked some of their papers which were destroyed by the dampness. It is a rouarkablc class. As for piety, reverence and good order, they would put a Sun- day school to shame, and have on more than one occasion done so. They never laughed above a smile nor above a whisper in the hall. They never carried snakes, lizards, mice, cats, nor dogs into the class room. They scorn such improper conduct. Shame on those who are guilty of such misdeeds. When a senior happened to flunk, as seniors often do, and had to take the course over with the Juniors, if he should so forget his dignity and the dignity of the junior class as to commit some breach of decorum, the color of shame and right- eous indignation would mount the countenance of every junior and cries of shame! and put him out! could be heard in a smothered whisper all over the classroom. On more than one occasion has the beloved Judge Johnson rescued some thoughtless senior, who had brought reproach on the junior cjass, by some undignified act, from the hands of the infuriated juniors who were about to throw him out of the window. They never scrapped with the seniors in the hall nor took any part in their undignified acts, for the} ' had been taught in the Sunday school to shun the very appearance of evil. They were always kind and courteous to the new members of the class. When a new brother came in to enroll, they thought they had not showm the proper courtesy due him as a member of the class until they had called on him for a speech. They even pinned a pla- card on his back informing all that he was a member of the class, away from his mother, and begging all to give him a lift which they willingly did. At night thej took him snipe hunting or informed him of the curfew law. Such acts of kindness are never forgotten. No class in the history of the school ever had so much presiden- tial timber. Alreadj ' three worthy gentlemen have occupied the presidential chair. Two of them were unfortunately called away on pressing business and have gone to parts unknown. None knew them but to love them None named them but to praise. It is a class with a brilliant future behind it. The state looks with pride upon it, the bullwark of her safety. The state must look to these helmsmen to guide her through the shoals of time. In it she will seek her future jurists, orators and statesmen. They take to law as naturally as a goose takes to water. Ever} ' member knows Taltorum ' s case by heart and can give the rule in Shelley ' s case oflf the book. The record the} ' have made in the past only proves what the future shall be. Already their names are written on the temple of Fame and the seats in the classrooms. When in iuture years, they appear at the bar of Justice, there to plead for truth and honor, criminals will tremble and be afraid, for they will know that the day of wrath is at hand.

He it was who plucked victory from defeat and taught the Anglo- Saxons how to succeed. Learning and jurisprudence went wherever his power went, and although a thousand years are numbered since he lived, 3 ' et his name stands out brighter with each succeeding generation. The Alfred Guild stands for the principles he represented. It has been in existence over a year and has lost none of its initial energy. Plwtn h l Frimd Tlrcta E ]i LORS— O f?

L,ittlr ' llliile -(Uitli Hmmlv Thinus. ORESBURG is not very large, even for a West Virginia town. It has perhaps fifty dwellings of various degrees of respectability, a post office, three general stores, four drug- stores, and innumerable stables and coal-houses; that is all. And yet once this was the business center for many miles of country round. Dozens of little snorting steamers thrashed the muddy water of the river, and stopped for coal or transfers at Moresburg. So the little town was filled with the bustle of boat-captains, deck-hands, and draymen, that took care of the lading. But times changed, and after a while a double line of new steel rails crept along the hill just beyond the town, and the entire popu- lation gathered to see the first train go by. The long shriek of that first locomotive was a passing-bell for the town, for soon long lines of heavy freights, with couplings cracking from the strain, followed the puffing engines — and the steamers were fewer. First the Mountain Boy dropped out of the lading-list, then the Osceola, a little later the Virgil Lee and the Olivia followed suit; until out of nearly fifty self-important little carriers, only three, the smallest and dirtiest of all, were left. Even these no longer transferred freight at Mores- burg, for the simple reason there was none to transfer; and the old town, feeling the weight of its hundred years, sank down in one nondescript grey heap, by the side of the grey river, — and died. Since I have known it, all the business is that of the trade with the country people, the village people being for the most part too poor to either buy or sell. Not a very prepossessing market place, it is true, yet to Mrs. Maria Burton a trip to town is an event of no little importance. Perhaps I had best tell you of one on which I accompanied her, a much interested spectator. One June evening, when a handful of white pine splinters flared in the big fire-place, to drive away rheumatic chills before bed-time, Mr. Burton sat by the hearth with wrinkled hands outspread over the dancing blaze, a little, spare figure, bent almost double just then, and the light from the fire flickered between his fingers, in changing flashes ever a calm pink countenance. Silky white hair was smoothly tucked behind his ears, and under white eye-brows looked out pale blue eyes of constant limpid shallowness. Mrs. Burton bustled in, wiping her hands, wet from the dish- washing, on a corner of her apron. Do you spose them aigs will do to go to town tomorrow, Frankie? she asked, as she dropped heavily into an unstable, split- bottom chair. A thorough impersonation of the Duchess, except for her temper, which was mild as a May morning — sometimes; she had a warm heart stowed away in the massive frame, and if it was seldom touched, it was no wonder. Mr. Burton hitched his chair closer the hearth as he answered. I dont know as 1 would, Maria, I aint ever certain of that old yaller hen, annywa} ' . I believe she lays bad aigs jest to spite us, an ' there was seven in the nest, sort of weatherbeaten, too, some of ' em. Well, remarked Maria, those ' d make the dozen. But then — reflectively, we might as well have fritters for breakfast. We havn ' t had any for a spell. Tomorrow ' s town-day, she went on after awhile, I ' ve got the things under the seat, so ' s I can start early. I hope Jim ' ll take the butter without lookin ' at it very hard. That last batch was a mite strong I thought. But law! it wa ' nt half like the stufT we got there last year. And she proceeded with an inventory of the articles of trade. Friday morning Mrs. Burton was banging skillets in the kitchen long before the earliest sun-rays had touched the highest twigs of the mulberry tree by the door. The early meal was soon consummated, and Maria bustled out, a substantial angel, disappearing in a flutter- ing cloud of blue calico, to the spare bed-room. And by the time the big mulberry cast its full length shadow across the yard, Mrs. Burton was seated in the spring- wagon freshly attired in a brown dress and a berufiied pink sunbonnet, while Frankie was assiduously tucking her in under a striped blanket. On her face there was a mingled expression of admonition to Frankie, anxiety for the affairs that must needs go on without her for a couple of hours, and considerable com- placence as she laid the crackerless whip on Dennis, the horse. Mrs. Burton told me once that Dennis was Irish. Whether she meant the horse or the name, I am sure I don ' t know; but he looks it anyway. Brown and shaggy-haired, seeming ever on the verge of starvation, with feet much too large and evidently very heavy, he limps painfully out of the Burton gate. Always recovering, however, on the homeward road. But with all his faults, Dennis has his good qualities, for instance, he is obliging enough to turn homeward at every cross-roads, stop at every house in the village, and never fails, when in town, to make a desperate effort to go to church, and only frantic belaboring will shake his resolu tion. On the way to town, Maria, pondering some abstract problem, sank into a great tranquility of mind and body, as Dennis jogged peacefully along the countrj road. Between gra3 ' -railed fences, festooned with poison ivy or Virginia creepers, borderinglong stretches of pasture, just beginning to reflect the June sky in scattered patches of ageratums; unbroken fields of golden wheat-stubble, or gray-green timothy, past great white farm-houses, half hidden in groups of ever- greens, and alive with the bustle of the morning chores. Sometimes the house-wife was in sight, and Dennis rested, while Maria inquired about the husband ' s rheumatism before they passed on. It was warm b} ' this time, and a little cloud of clinging dust rose from the wheels and from Dennis ' cautious steps. Occasionally a young rabbit or a wary quail scurried across the dust, and turned to look through the weeds at the disturbers of its peace. Withal, it was a pleasant journey, this good two miles to town, and, after awhile, Dennis ' feet banged on the rattling boards of the covered bridge, and they entered the village. As she passed the first straggling houses, with a nod and a smile for the baby at the window, or the housewife at the door, Mrs. Burton assumed her wonted self-complacence. Dennis unnecessarily hitched to the picket fence by the post-office, she made her way to the nearest store. This miscellaneous collection of everything piled every where, was } resided over b} ' a young man possessed of an overwhelming idea of his own importance. Here, she left theeggs and the white-wrapped rolls of butter, and after half an hour ' s gossip, received in exchange a bulky bag of sugar and a brown jug, tightly stopped with half a corn-cob and oozing with kerosene. Miss Jane the village dress-maker, a stud}- in straight lines, hurried in for a spool of thread. Why, htnv do you do, Maria, I had nigh given you up. You ' re at least fifteen minutes late today. Mrs. Burton for the first time pushed back the great sun-bonnet, and like Aurora from a rosj ' -tinted cloud, beamed on the spinster. Didn ' t you though? I stopped to ask Miz McClew how her brother ' s wife ' s sister was, and stayed longer ' n I expected. How is she? asked Miss Jane. Gettin ' tolable, said Mrs. Burton, she eat some milk yester- day ' , and the doctor says as how she can have a mite of chicken broth tomorrow. It ' s time too, the poor thing haint had enough to keep a well body and soul together, much less such ones as hers, nowadays. Well, remarked the dress-maker, adjusting her eyeglasses. (She has been trying to get those glasses settled ever since I have known her.) I guess it ' s the Lord ' s will, did you hear about the trouble in the choir last Sunday? You didn ' t? Well, it was awful — And then followed a long story of obstinate organists, and evertrouble- some first sopranos, and shocked deacons, and jealous altos, and so forth, and so forth. I went outside. When Mrs. Burton stepped into the sunshine three quarters of an hour later, she rested a moment to survey the thorofare. It was a narrow road, thick with grey dust from accumulated cinders, dumped there by generations of Moresburgers; bordered on one side by a narrow sidewalk of blue-grey bricks, and on the other side by a straggling row of broken-down wagons, left for the blacksmith. Dejected-looking houses drew ranks sullenl} ' a step from the side- walk, checked in an ignominious retreat b} ' some unknown power. some with flecks of colored paint marking the predominating gray of weatherbeaten wood, others with the yearly coat of whitewash splashed high with gray mud by the summer rains. And over all clambered the Virginia creeper, trying to hide every rotten side-wall and ugly gable. But the village street was not entirely devoid of life; a group of small boys drove clanging iron hoops up the street, a little golden- haired child peeped through a half open gate, and laughed, two or three men slouched past to the store, a circling flock of purple martins twittered and chirped about their crowded domicile on the post-ofhce roof, and those little cosmopolitans, the English sparrows, fluttered with a great show of bravado, under Dennis ' very hoofs. Maria ' s next haven was. the post-office, a little gray building with a wide doorway, against which the postmaster lounged. Any mail for me or Frankie? as he shook himself loose from the support. Dunno, I ' ll see, he answered, slouching behind the cases. Ye — s, he replied after a moments search, A paper an ' two letters, one of em ' s marked New York, too. Didn ' t know you knowed anybody in New York, Miz ISurton? I ' ve got an uncle there, she answered, pushing back her bonnet to wipe her heated brow; He ' s on the police force now. F ine weather for hayin ' , aint it? he asked, turning to another mail-seeker who had just entered. Mrs. Burton returned to the spring-wagon, where Dennis was switching flies and absent-mindedly browsing the tops oi the odorous camomile by the fence. She stored herparchases under the spacious seat as Squire Jones hurried up to untie the horse. The Squire might have been portly if he had been taller, but of his stature, he was — well, just fat, His face was flushed vividly, to the farthermost boundary of his bald spot, but whether from embarrassment, or pride at being of some use, or the unusual exertion, I should not attempt to say. At any rate he untied Dennis, talking between gasps. How ' s Mistah Buhton today, — Mis Buhton? — Yo ' must tell him — to be suah — to send me those hawgs — next co ' t day. He will, said Mrs. Burton, with an emphasis that meant more than Frankie ' s promise, as she laboriously climbed in and flapped the lines over Dennis ' back. And finally, by the combined efforts of both, Dennis was started homeward. He trotted lazily around the square , under over-hanging apple trees, while clouds of gray dust floated from under the wheels, as they crunched over fresh piles of cinders. On past long stretches of yellow and white dog-fennel, so attractive when the wind blows the other way, swallowed up for a moment in the sounding bridge, and emerg- ing into the open country. Mrs. Burton leaned back under a rusty u mbrella with a sigh of relief, as Dennis patiently pursued his shadow down the yellow road. For the sun was hot by this time, and the green landscape glimmered with light, while here and there along the way, lay patches of cool shadow, thrown by great fan-leaved catalpas, or scrubby ailanthus trees, already speckled with yellow bloom. The wa} ' is not long when Dennis is homeward-bound, and in a short while he turned briskly in at the red gateway and pounded up the lane. A great anxiety darkened Maria ' s face; anxiety for the things that might have happened to the farm and the universe in general, while she was in town. But nothing untoward had hap- pened, I was sure, for in the shifting shade of the great mulberry tree, Frankie was meekly ' waiting to welcome her. The Iphn SigiucT Siyma Snitaitton Tucker Brooke. HE universit}- clock was striking twelve and the moon, as it shot its rays over the campus, looked down upon the blind- folded form of Vergilius Shakespeare Shackleford, the freshest of all preps, time whereof the memory of seniors runneth not to the contrary. About Shackleford ' s doubtful steps hopped and danced in galvanic glee the members of Alpha Sigma Sigma frater- nity, chartered that day for the purpose of his initiation. As the pro- cession wound along Vergilius Shakespeare was expressing with the most delightful assurance his views, preferences and criticisms, to which his companions listened in rapturous attention, some of them being frequently so much affected as to have to stop and hug them- selves with their handkerchiefs in their mouths till a dig in the ribs recalled them to sobriety. Yes, said the prep, You have done well in choosing me for a member. I have influence and intend to raise 3 ' ou above all other organizations, and arrange myself on those short-sighted fraternities that have scorned my offers. I hope you will have reason in the future to remember this night with satisfaction. Your initiation to-night, answered a Junior at his side, will be remembered by all succeeding generations of preps. And then the Junior took refuge in his handkerchief. A halt was now called, for they had come to the spot behind Woodburn Hall whence one descends to the scene of the medicos ' endeavors. A messenger came from below and held a whispered con- versation with the chief. It ' s a work of art, he said, ecstaticall} ' . The boards are laid over the steps and waxed till they shine. The door is open to receive him and the decorations within would give Mephisto himself nervous prostration. We are all ready; just start him on his aerial course. The Junior leaned heavily against the initiate, pushing him off the platform and the next instant Vergilius Shakespeare was sliding with the speed of a comet and the general appearance of an octopus along what had once been a thousand feet of university lumber and ten dozen wax candle, his feet and finger nails cutting useless furrows with every revolution of his bod} . Loud cries of lamentation burst from the group above. Come back, Shackleford; wh} ' are you so rash? The place is haunted; no one has ever returned from it. Come back to us. But the wind brought to them only smothered gusts of profanity, emitted in volleys as often as the prep ' s head came uppermost. Faci is descensus ai crno, laughed the Junior, and they scram- bled down the hill to peep in at the sequel. When. the vis inertiue finally prevailed and Shackleford found himself standing on his head in the midst of a pile of old rags, it may be imagined that his feelings toward the Alpha Sigma Sigma fraternity were not of the most charitable. It began to dawn upon his inner consciousness, while he was painfully excavating himself, that he had not been treated with the proper degree of decorum, that he had been made the victim of a part}- of hazers. He boiled inwardl3 vowing dire vengeance, as he carefully iden- tified his head and struggled with the muffler in which it was envel- oped. At length every knot was loosened. He turned his eyes upon his surroundings and collapsed with one long-drawn howl, all thoughts of retribution buried in a Hood of terror. He was in a small room, the door of which had mysteriously closed after his entrance. A dim green light showed him indistinctly the sable h|angings of the walls and shone full upon three skeletons seated before him on high black thrones. As the prep ' s frightened gaze fixed, itself upon them, each slowly raised a bony right arm and grimly pointed at him. The solemn stillness was becoming unbearable, Shackleford felt that it must be broken at any cost, and as his companion showed no intention of speaking, he resolved to do so himself. He opened his mouth to address them, but not a word would come forth. He tried to pray and found it equally impossible. He attempted to turn away his eyes, but they remained riveted upon the ghastly figures. It was growing worse and worse; he must do something. In a voice he would never have recognized as his own he began to chant the first words that came into his mind: Mary had a little lamb; Its fleece was white as — Si-i-lence ! shouted the middlemost skeleton with a muffled roar that seemed to issue from its feet. The figure on the left jerked his hand heavenward. ' ' Who is this sacrilegious mortal, he cried, that thus violently and unsummoned intrudes upon our solemn council? The first speaker, who seemed to be the chief, nodded his head so impressively that it almost fell from his shoulders. Thou hast heard the question. Answer, vile worm, or die untried. Th} ' name and class? V ' gil ' s Sh ' k ' speare Sh ' kl ' f ' d ' 08, said the prep thickly between gasps. His judges grinned more widel} 3 ' et and rattled their bones villainously. A fortunate capture! chuckled the central form. Com- panions, set forth your charges. I indict the culprit here cowering before us of a capital offense, screamed the one who had not yet spoken, in that he has broken in vi et armis upon our awful gathering and has further polluted its sanctit} ' by frivolous songs. Let him be judged! And I, put in the skeleton on the left, accuse him of unjusti- fiable and unpardonable cruelty, inasmuch as he has forced his pony to bear him unaided through every examination — an offense that merits burning. Upon his head I call down condemnation. The most heinous charge remains for me, asseverated the principal judge. I shrink to name it, lest all the spirits of dead col- legians rise and, in their pious wrath, hurl the foul wretch ' s soul to the last abyss of bottomless Tartarus. He has ventured in his un- measured insolence, even he, a prep, to usurp to himself the privileges and immunities, the honors and liberties of right belonging to none but seniors. Let all the various torments reserved for every crime unite to expiate this sacrilege! Death, death, terrible and immediate! shouted the others with one voice. And how can a prep die better, they chanted, rattling their bones till the victim ' s blood curdled, Than by our fearful rule, For the good of all his comrades And a riddance to the school! At the last word there came a terrible sound as of thunder; blind- ing lights of many colors flashed through the room, and shrill threat- ening cries reechoed from every side. With a wild yell of terror, Shackleford burst the door open, he knew not how, overthrew the Junior outside and dashed wild-eyed and unseeing, down the ravine, marking his progress by a succession of frantic shrieks. I ' m a martyr to the cause, groaned the Junior, as he danced about on one foot with his hand over the place the prep ' s head had struck, but the cause is worthy of martyrdom. It was a perfect success, cried a Senior, as he crawled from the box on which sat the central skeleton. I only hope the idiot won ' t knock his brains out against a tree. The price of the brain commodity wouldn ' t go up, but it would be rough on the tree, murmured the Junior, rubbing himself reflect- ively. It was late next afternoon when Vergilius Shakespeare Shackle- ford returned after cautious reconnoitering and locked himself up with his own reflections and a bottle of arnica. Henceforth he was a model of humanity to all preps, but it was many a day before he could be induced to venture near the Vale of Dissection after dark. TliE Stcrtt of the Uiuds Oh, North Wind, swift winged, that shrieks from the pole. Leave me a message for my questioning soul; Tell me the secrets which North Wind should know, Armed with the ice and the hail and the snow, When fanning the iceberg with Odin ' s chill breath. Did it give j-ou no message of life nor of death ? Oh, tell me, I pray you, what tidings you bring From mountains and seas where winter is king. Oh, East Wind, sweet scented, that crosses the sea. Surely some message you carry to me. Tell me the stories that ages have told Of nations departed, of glories of old. When greeting the Sphinx did it no message give Of how men should die, of how men should live ? Oh, whisper, soft East Wind, some sweet, magic word Which, cro. ' -sing the Indus, oftimes you have heard. Oh, West Wind, soft zephyr from nature ' s isles fair. Fling nie a message which you gathered there. Tell me of sunsets and glittering waves, Sing me some song which my lonely heart craves; When cradled with ocean on ocean ' s calm breast, Or, blowing to shore on ocean ' s smooth crest, Was not there some symbol or token or sign, That told you of God and of glories divine ? Oh, South Wind, with fragance of orange and rose, Tell me a secret which Sunny South knows, Soft as the falling of dusk at the night. Waft me a message to make my heart light. Kiss me and tell me, as thou passest slow, Ere out from my life for aye thou shalt go, Lisp to me softly, I pray it of thee, The meaning of life and of eternity. The lUnnnoHa Ixrd T was nu ' strange pleasure to meet the chief character of this stor} ' some years ago. He was so courteous and considerate, so companionable, yet sometimes sad and moody withal, and his speech and manner smacked so much of a citizen of the world that I cultivated his acquaintance. Particularly fascinating it was to me to hear his stories of weird and perilous doings on land and sea. However, through all these tales of adventure, I telt that there was something else — some great deep vital secret, which he was not telling, and which was the cause of these actions and of this unceas- ing restlessness of his life, I found out that he was a college man; and one evening, as we were sitting on the hotel veranda overlooking the peaceful ocean shimmering in the mellow rays of the harvest moon, I brought the conversation around to a discussion of college life and college friendships. For a while he was strangely reticent, then tak- ing his cigar from his lips, he looked me squarely in the face with his clear grey eyes, and with the unmistakable liquid accents of the Southland he said: My young friend, I believe you are a man of honor. If you will keep my story until you are sure I am dead, I will tell you an incident of my college days that has lent the one influence to my life. Several times I have been on the point of relating it, but have always refrained. Now I shall tell it to you and to you alone. The promise was forthcoming, and the man resumed his story. j Iy ancestry is one of the oldest and noblest of Virginia. Many worthy men and splendid women have worn our crest, and at mention of our family yet in Virginia come visions of landed estates, wealth, and generous hospitalit} ' . The only thing ever whispered against us was a vague rumor of lack of purpose and slowness of decision. At an early age — it does not matter now, sir, how long ago or how old I was then — I was sent to a Virginia college, after having been fitted by a private tutor. The college life delighted me, and I quickly made friends with the boys. They were a rollicking crowd — most of them, generous, wealthy, ready for anything that promised sport, and always and ever gentlemen, you know of the college life of years ago, language, mili- tary drill, dancing and plenty of outside exercise and gayety. I enjoyed it all with never a thought for the future. As the months sped by a number of us came to be particular friends. There seemed to be some affinity between us — so much so that sometimes we would meet together and discuss freely and frankly our hopes and ambitions. One evening, shortly before the Commencement, when four or five of our little circle would be graduated, we all met in a room in the college town— our club room we called it. There were thirteen of us, all splendid l ooking fellows, from the Junior and Senior classes. I was the youngest of the number save two. We passed the evening most pleasantly with jests and songs interspersed with billiards and wine. The future to all of us looked rosy, and we wanted some com- mon bond to hold us together through life. Various plans were sug- gested, and at last we decided to bind ourselves together by an oath, most awful in its fearful solemnity, that each one of us would under all circumstances and in all conditions act as honorable men, that we would always scorn to take advantage of weakness, that always we would strive to do that thing which counted most for the good of humanity, and in the doing of these things we would always stand foremost . • The badge of our union was a little pin of quaint design with a half blown magnolia bud on it. That was all. There was no consti- tution, no by-laws. There could be no discussion to membership. The oath alone held, and the badge, which must always be worn. The speaker pulled aside his coat a moment and there on his waistcoat gleamed his badge, the half-blown Magnolia bloom surrounded by brilliants. Never again did we meet together, for several of the boys did not return and soon we were all gone from the college; yet the oath was not forgotten. We soon heard of it in a way that made it more solemn still. Three years after our farewell meeting, I was in Rich- mond during the races. ' Magnolia, ' owned by Wilson, of our club, was a favorite in one of the events and I went round to see her go. In the general eagerness to see the wind up, a little girl someway got out on the track. Wilson saw her and ma de a rush to save her. The horses could not be stopped; it was a race between master and horse, and both won. But the gentle Magnolia had struck her merciful master bleeding and senseless beneath the wire. I visited him at the hospital a little later, but he knew no one; he was living over his college days. In the evening as I sat by his couch, he opened his eyes, glanced strangely around, then recogniz- ing me, he murmured hoarsely, ' The oath. Dick, I tried to , ' and he was gone. My oath had been sitting lightly on me for these three years, but now I realized what it meant. I wish that I might now tell you something pleasant, for at this time came the very happiest time of my whole life, but I cannot. On this trip I met a woman whom I loved as never man loved before. She had all the grace and gentle- ness of our Southern Willows, and the stately magnificence of your Northern Lights. You are too young to understand how I adored her — the Queen of all the Virginias. She seemed to return my af- fections, and we planned for our future in our Virginia home. Sud- denly I was called abroad on business which lengthened into months and then into years. At first her letters came to me regularly; she was waiting only my return; then her letters began to come less fre- quently, and finally my letters were unanswered. On the completion of my business at the end of two years, I hastened back to America — to find my Elisabeth married to another. O, my friend, it was the same old story — as old as love itself — the H ri ' viper in paradise. By lies, skillfuly concealed, yet black as the pit itself, a young lawyer, Robert Wilcox, wealthy and handsome, had poisoned her mind against me, and she — but I must not grieve you with this; you are too young, sir, to understand. I welcomed the approaching civil strife, thinking to forget my private wrongs in de- fending m} own Southland. All sunshine, however, had gone from my life. I could not forget. It seemed as though I should de- mand his life as the price of my overwhelming darkness, yet always the liquid eyes of Eliza- beth and her appealing face stood in the way. ' ' Beauregard wanted men and I joined him, 3 ' et no bullet came to end m} ' melancholy and restlessness. I have heard of men, and known men, who, when bereft by some great misfor- tune, became very devils incarnate in battle, fierce, resistless, staying for nothing, and winning glory by tiieir very desperation ; however, it was not thus with me, Energy I had, yet a restlessness as of the wandering Jew seized me, and no sooner did I establish myself in one place than I went to another. I was soon transferred from Beauregard ' s command to a small reconnoitering force, and later saw service as a scout, and seived in the artillery di- vision, yet never did I stay with one division long enough to win promotion. As I was passing through a field hospital at the close of the third day ' s fight at Gettysburg, I saw glistening on the bloody shirt of a dying brigadier general the half-blown Magnolia bud. In honor I recognized the altered features of one of my college mates — one of our band. ' A stretcher-bearer told me the circumstances of his death. He was in Pickett ' s charge, and the color guard was shot down near him, wherever the flag appeared officers and men fell as grass before the reaper. Once the colors did not come up very quickly and the brigadier himself seized them and carried them right into the very face of the foe, till the canister caught him at the stone wall. As I turned away I thought, ' Surel} ' the Magnolia bloom on his badge will not wither forever. ' Sir, I have prayed a thousand times that the dauntless courage and calm determination of those men might abide in me. Even my most solemn oath failed to keep me right, and yet I wanted to live it. It seemed as though the pampered blood alone and indecision of character of my long honored ancestry had centered in me and left me incapable of definite action. Young man, be proud if in your veins flovys the good red blood of fathers who have dared to accomplish something. A thousand times, sir, I have re-sworn my oath, and resolved to bind myself to its exact fulfillment, and a thou- sand times I have broken it. Thus I went through the war, scouting and fighting, sometimes in one place, sometimes in another, and ever hoping for the death which never came. Before our Southland lay bleeding at the cont ueror ' s feet, four of our college band had given up their lives in the struggle — three with our boys and one with the boys in blue. Were it not for weary- ing your patience, I would tell you the story of each; but suffice it to say that before each of these boys passed out of life, he had left a monument of worthy and heroic deeds more lasting than the elaborate shafts now standing on their green turfed battlefields. After Appom.attox, I wandered back to the scenes of my former life of the plantation, where everything was in ruins. My father and mother were dead; the slaves were for the most part gone. With the aid of my only brother, who, also, had just returned from the war, I began to put affairs in shape. After being at home for a few years, I was again seized by a desire to change my location. I invested the proceeds of my estate in a secure and paying investment, and traveled. Before leaving the state I went to Richmond for a few days and there I saw Elizabeth of old — my Elizabeth yet — and her husband. I met him again at the Union Club, and my very soul was jealous of him. At the following banquet to the surprise of alL I refused to wine, knowing full well that with wine would come the breaking of all my restraint, and the dishonoring of my solemn oath. I left Richmond a wanderer and an adventurer, and a wanderer and an adventurer I have remained to this day. I could not make it otherwise. With the losing of Elizabeth it seemed that all the better part of my life had gone, yet it could not be that entirely for all my misdoings brought remorse, which in turn was sharpened a hundred fold l y that early ever-living oath. Again and again I have almost pursuaded myself that its force is spent and that my life concerns myself alone. Then some incident brings everything back again, clear and distinct to my mind. ' ' Several years ago I found myself in a Florida town. In walking through the well kept churchyard, a splendid monument attracted my attention. Carved on one of its faces was the inscription, ' Erected in grateful remembrance to the memory of William James Marshall, who gave his life that his friends might live. ' Surmount- ing this was the half blown Magnolia bud cut in the stone. My guide explained the inscription. Several years before, during a yellow fever plague when almost every person who was able had left the city, and even physicians had ileo, Marshall stayed, and cared for the sick, prayed with the dying, and buried the dead. At last, worn out, he succumbed to the fever himself. Now every year the choicest flowers bloom on his grave, and his memory lives fresh in the hearts of those people. This, then, was the close of the career of ' Doc ' Marshall — the very life of our college club. That night I wept scalding tears on Marshall ' s grave as I thought how, for a score of years, I had shunned almost every duty and shirked every responsibility, which ought, by my oath, to have been borne by me. With morning ' s dawn came the old fever of motion and I was off. Later, when in the capital city of Alabama, I accepted an old messmates invitation to go with him to the Supreme Court Room, where a case in which he was interested was being tried. When we arrived a justice was reading a decision of the court concerning the right of original settlers in Alabama who had received land from the state, and of purchasers of land from original settlers when purchases were made in good faith, to hold such land in secure possession, al- though later surveys should prove it in excess of the amount really purchased by them under the old land grants of the state. My friend remarked, ' That decision will cause rejoicing, sir, in thousands of home:s in Alabama to-night. Years ago, under the old land grants, the property purchased was often surveyed by a stepping hosre. Naturally, the surveys would be inexact. Now a lot of land sharks have been re-measuring those early grants, and by patents issued to themselves have been taking possession of the land in ex- cess of the amount called for in the original patents. In many cases the lands have long since passed from the hands of the original settlers, and if the lower courts had been up- held m their decisions, it would have dispo- sessed thousands of our most industrious citi- zens of their homes. This decision plainly shows the influence of Justice Brown in the court. ' With that name came a swift memory. ' Is Justice Brown a native of Alabama ? ' ' No sir, he came from Virginia. ' I saw again James Wellington Brown, the judge, who in col- lege could never leave his law books for a fox hunt. Surely his oath was not tarnished. My travels carried me over almost every part of the civilized world, making friends everywhere, yet losing them quickly as I passed on; hoping always to lose myself, yet always at last meeting with something to bring me back to myself. I have driven stage coach on the western plains, mined gold in Colorado, served in the New Orleans fire department; I have been a broker in New York, a news- paper man in London. I sailed with Schley on his rescue expedi- tion to the Arctic regions, and was ' a member of the American lega- tion at Paris. Yet all these things were merely incidents. I have always been spurred on and on toward something which has never come. Once, indeed, I thought my wanderings were over. I was on an inbound steamer which was wrecked on the Jersey coast in a fearful storm. However, the same fate, which seems to keep me from fulfilHng m} ' vow, but which holds me from death till my vow is paid, saved me. The life-boat saved me with others and carried us to the Saving Station. The next morning when I strolled out, I heard in long-unheard accents ' Dick Graydon, b} all that ' s strange! ' And there grizzled by the spraj ' of many years Wilson Hardy, of the Magnolia Club, reached to me his strong right hand. He had served years in this station, had a record of having saved a life for every year ot his own, and had been presented with medals by three dif- ferent foreign governments. ' ' My young friend, you can easil} ' see how all these things have increased my desperation. Why, sir, can not some of the firmer will of my ancestors lay hands on my faculties and say to them, ' Prodigal, here is thy work, and here must thou stay, until the utmost of thy vows have been paid. ' It seems to me that had that dainty youth not crossed my path with bitterest wormwood, I would not now stand last in life ' s race. But the die seems to be cast, and each year is more bitter than before. Not long ago in northern cit} ' I passed a Newsboys ' Home, a beautiful building and an eminently practical charity, if a charity it may be called, which is giving comfort, cheer, help, and brighter prospects to hundreds of boys every night. Over the stone archway, I discerned a carved Magnolia bud — half-blown. It was the workof Judson Wildmere, the banker — our scholarl % thoughtful ' Jud ' Wildmere of that Virginia College. He nas done much more for his adopted city, and his townspeople have no evil word to say against him, but all praise is his. I could not go to see him. My soul grew heavy as lead at thought of meeting him. Since that time I dread to look carefully about me, fearing to see that badge of our glory and of my disgrace. I know that there are few of our boys left and my chances of seeing them are few. Yet I fear to meet them. Sometimes I even loathe this very pin, and yet but for it, who knows but that I might be more than dishonored in some nameless grave. Since seeing the Home, I have kept farther away from the haunts of Americans. I have travelled in Russia, and made excursions into the heart of the Egyptian country, and now have just re- turned from the Queen ' s Jubilee. With the finishing up of a few affairs here in San Francisco, I shall go back to Virginia again. Something seems to call me; I have not been there for a ijuarter of a century. I am so hungry for the rolling fields — and Eliza- beth, would to God that I might go back happy and crowned with the glory of life ' s work well done! Would that I might lie down in peace in the quaint burial ground with my father and my father ' s father, with a chaste Magnolia bloom over my head-stone, and leave behind a memory fragrant as sweet spices to those I had helped! I fear it is too late. I have alwa ' s hoped for something farther on, and now, although my blood still flows fast, I know that mj wandering will soon cease; and I fear, you, sir, cannot know how I fear that there will not be one thing in my life of such ros} ' prospects that may entitle this emblem to mark my forgotten grave. But, sir, I have wearied you too long, I bid you good night. Long I thought of the strange life of this lonely, kindly man. What power could make him a wanderer on the face of the earth! Surely his anguish was great indeed. In the early morning hours I fell asleep, and when I woke, Gra} ' don had gone. I came East, and some months later among my newspapers the following paragraph caught ni} ' eye: Richmond, Va. , Nov. i8, 189 — The fine residence of Robert Wilcox, Esquire, was burned at an early hour this morning. The fire, which seems to have caught in the laundry, was not discovered until the whole house was wrapped in flames, and with difficulty that the family were saved. A very peculiar circumstance happened in connection with the rescue of the famil} ' , which cost the rescuer his hfe. In putting up a ladder one fireman was struck and severel_y injured. Ilis oilskin and helmet, which were removed from him before he was carried away, were at once donned by a stranger. T his man ran up the ladder, and first of all found the sleeping rooms of the occupants. He seemed per- fectly cool, and quickly handed Mrs. Wildox and her youngest daugh- ter, Elisabeth, both insensible, through the window to the firemen. He had just lifted Wilcox out, and was making preparations to follow when the floor above crashed down carrying him into the ruins. It has yet been found impossible as yet to discover the identity of this stranger. He is said to have been a well built, elderly gentleman. The only clue, which might lead to hfs identification is his coat and waist-coat, which he removed when put on the fireman ' s oilskin. They bear the mark of a London tailor, and on his waist-coat was a badge of peculiar design — a half-blown Magnolia bud, set in brilliants. No one has been found who can tell what it signifies. The Wilcox famil3 although sufTering severely from the smoke and shock, are practically unhurt. W. Espev Alhig. Hmntt ' anri]in ir As when on mountain crest some massive rock, Exposed for ages to the tempest ' s shock, At length by constant wear displaced starts slow Adown the rugged slopes to plains below; Scarce breaks av first the tangled undergrowth, But, hastening as it goes, soon quits its sloth; Thundering like avalanche now spurns the ground And roots up giant oaks at every bound. As such a rock ' s descent starts hundreds more Which far behind in hopeless co;itest pour. Till stone or log or shrub quick stops their course, The while the greater mass with unchecked force Leaps o ' er the mead and plunges to the sea: So, awe-struck Homer, nmst we gaze on thee! Thou bird of love, who, through Times darkest night, Didst wing toward rising dawn thy doubtful flight. Rest thee! The li.irds of taili succeeding age Have e ' er been glad to own lliy tutelage. Thy theme and form in their great works they fuse. And, where they fail, the nobler show thy muse. Some have been simple, many have been grand; Both qualities are joined by thy sure hand: Sublime with ease and plain although astute. Thou wear ' st nor comic mask nor tragic boot. Content to tell thy tale as merely man. Let him who cares great Virgil ' s power to scorn, Sit ' neath the spreading arches of some dome That speaks in marble of declining Rome, Mid monuments of old and gilding rays Of midday sun, while full within his g ize In slow swells moves the crowd ' s e ' er changing throng. Here let him read in tones alive and strong Aeneas ' glories or Queen Dido ' n wrongs. But would you Homer ' s grandeur recognize, Betake yourself where Nature ' s art defies With modest wealth all human copying. Where centenarj ' oaks their branches bring Together round a hanging cliff, whose mass O ' ertops them all, while rising from the grass That forms your]couch unnumbered flow ' rets weave A cloth of Tyrian dyes, through which, beneath Your seat, a tiny stream in fruitless haste Runs and returns again. When thus you ' re ' placed Read Homer. Then you ' ll hear the poet ' s words Reechoed by the rocks and rills and birds. While in your soul will be awakened themes For deepest meditation and for dreams Until addressed to you alone the epic seems For what on Nature rests, with time must fall ; Where Nature speaks, she speaks unto us all. — Tucker Brooke. To TItc Hc iattra. This earliest flower is like a glad surprise; Its tints of lavender .so gently blend To hold the eye, and throbbing pleasure lend To him who finds in Nature Life ' s great prize: And oftentimes the dainty perfumes rise All faint, then fade, like lingering chimes they send Their subtle music through the soul at end Of day which soothes and calms ere the chiming dies. Oh, what a blessing art thou early flower? The smile of earth, and Resurrection ' s sign! What wealth of beauty tends thy transient hour? What gladness, deep as life, from thee is mine! From whence hast thou pure gem thy strange sweet power To gladden hearts and breathe a hope divine? — W. E. A. lUai ' u lUonian, Ladu of dnlni ' . a NAMED my house Belleview because that was the name of the prettiest place I saw when I was in Europe ; an ' I said to myself, if I ever had a home I was goin ' to name it Belleview an ' try an ' make it jus ' as pretty as that place. It had a lawn smooth as velvet an ' what they call a park, an ' flowers, — I never saw so man} ' flowers ! I can ' t have the park, but I wan ' to plant all the flowers at home I can. Mother had heard the story so often that she made no comment but gave the old colored woman a lot of peonies, roots and all. Mary Morgan craned her long, thin neck out as she handled the blossoms. Ain ' t they beautiful ? Elakej ' , jus ' like dr}- snow. I ' ll plant one on each side of the path. I haven ' as many flowers yet as I ' d like to. She spoke with a certain intonation such as white folks use, and pronounced even her errors in such a polite tone that one could not call them coarse. Mary Morgan, with the peonies under her arm, stood before her home, Belleview, and looked at it. It sat back from the road about twent ' -five rods, with no yard, a mass of bulgy wall and sunken roof, with its ricket ' door huddled close to the ground. To the unimagin- ative the worm-eaten rose bushes, the straggling honey-suckle vine and marigolds growing from the baked earth added no grandeur to the spot. I mus ' have more flowers, signed Mary. Of course the house isen ' what it ought to be, but I wan ' to have as many flowers as Belleview. What in reason possessed any woman to cherish a thought of this cabin in connection with the famous Belleview ? Even the vagaries of her race scarcel] ' compassed it. But Mary was dis- tinguished from her race. It could be seen in the way she carried her head, large for one of her size and sloping narrow to the chin. She held her mouth as if she were always saying words with that air of white folks. One great event of Mary ' s life distingui. ' -hed her from her race, lifted her far above them on a pinnacle to be reached only by rare chance. Marj- had been to Europe ? Most of the darkies Mary ' s age had been slaves, and prided themselves on the splendor of that time. Some boasted a place of honor and little evidences of trust. But who besides Mary could say that he or she had been to Europe ? She impressed this fact on her children daily ; they were brought up on it. That fortune had taken Mary as lad ' ' s maid for her old mistress on a trip to Europe, was the crowning glory of Mary ' s life — never to be forgotton one moment. Why, every time she paesed critical judgment on the peeling of potatoes or the hoeing of a garden she was supervising (Mary seldom did anything herself), it was with vivid knowledge that she had been abroad. The whole conduct of Mary ' s life after her trip (she went when she was a 3 ' oung girl) had been founded on her superiority attained thereby. She had been brought up with only light work even for a maid. After the war she felt it beneath her to work. She was married and her husband seemed to share her opinion — that work was degrading. They did a certain amount ; they must live. But one safe-guard they could take — one last prop to their dignity ' and good breeding. They zcould not do anything hurriedly ! The last ckjak of gentilit} ' left Mar}-, in which she folded herself calmh ' and genteell} ' , was her deliberation. She never dropped it for one moment, but paced through the world of p lebeian hurry and darl:e - slatternliness wrapped in that impenetrable cloak of genteel delibera tion, surrounded by children who were often only half-clothed, and whom you may be sure never warmed their blood in winter by exercise or suffered from over-heat in summer — unless it was Joseph, who nearly succumbed to sunstroke one day on the return trip from a cherry tree (because he took so long to make the trip in the burn- ing sun). About the bringing up of the children Mary had certain ideas. They must be genteel, little monuments in ebony to her good breed- ing. They must all have fitting names; so she called them Joseph, Douglass, Ella, Belle, Desdemona. There must be none of that slip-shod darkey nomenclature, the names she had chosen must be lopped off into no nick names. In Joseph ' s youth he was sent to school and the children immediately called him Jo. Joseph was politely insisted on, but to no effect; Jo it was. So Joseph was removed from school. Ever after no child of Mary Morgan was suf- fered to associate with those poor trash darke3 ' s who gave nick names. But Jo clung to Joseph like a fatality till Mary determined to take the matter into her own hands and re-christen him something that could not be abbreviated — Sam. Nobody ever found the superi- ority of Sam over Jo; but to Mary it seemed a consolation that at last it was her work. Another point in the family life that Mary insisted upon was that the family must never be broken. It was so harassingly ungenteelto have the family out at work! Removed from her presence what should prevent them from growing like every other darkey? So Marj ' , idle in everything else, fought persistently for this one thing, the gentility of her family. The children profited under their mother ' s influence and grew up habitually temperate in their movements. Douglass was on an errand one day at the home of Mary ' s people. As mother stood on the porch with the bundle that Mary always expected, she noticed a pig that had slipped into the yard and was being pursued by the cook. Go help Mimey drive the pig out, Douglass mother said. The boy lingered. Run help Mimey, Douglass. The boy hung his head. I ca-an ' t run, was slowly drawled out. Ella Belle condescendingly consented to do odd jobs lor my mother. One cold day mother found her washing lettuce in hot water. Why, you will wilt the lettuce, Ella Belle? mother said. Ella Belle hung her head and went on. Wash it in cold water, Ella, hot water wilts it. Cold water hurts my ha-ands, said Ella Belle. Onions she positively refused to touch. Harrison, Mary ' s husband, was so slow that few people would employ him, even when Mary consented to his working. Mary was really too frail to work. She had some real skill at doctoring. She was a skillful nurse, and more than that, she had some art in admin- istering simple darkey remedies. The people of the neighborhood always welcomed her in sickness, for she was sure to concoct some herbacious remedy. People would offer her for this old clothes and things to eat. She never took them from the darkeys, but from mother. She accepted all kinds of things, and on these chiefly she lived. She and her husband owned the cabin at Belleview, but that was almost gone. It admitted draughts which Mary ' s persistent chinking could not keep out. In winter the snow drifted in, and rainy weather made the cabin damp. As the years went by and Mary ' s children came to an age when they should have been making their mother ' s life easy, Mary had need of her own simple potions. Her chest was more sunken and her head protruded further. The whites of her great darkey eyes often had a yellow cast and a cough shook her frail frame. Mother thought it was time to take things into her own hands, so she found Desdemona a place as cook, and Desdemona was allowed to go. A few days after that mother passed the cabin and asked Mary how Desdemona liked her new occupation. Lo, Desdemona was at home. You see Miss Bettie, it ain ' t no use, but I ' m much obliged to you. ' Twould have helped a lot. We were goin ' to save up so ' s we could get a new house. But Miss Bettie, these people want nothing, but poe trash. I could ' n ' stand it. I did use to think I ' d give ' most anything for a real pretty house, but I guess we ' ll just live on like we have. I hav ' n ' long to live, but I ' ll manage while I las ' to keep my family together. Mother said the peony petals were blowing all around and Mary looked too frail to be standing out in the wind. She couldn ' t last long; truly, it was no use to remonstrate with her. Mother always said it was the moment of supreme triumph in Mary ' s ,life, when she rose very high in the scales of philosophy ' and principle. Among the flowers, with the cabin for a background, she made a really noble figure. Exposure had told on Mary all her life, but when the end came it was sudden as with all her race. She had crept over to mother ' s to give her some directions about the treatment of one of us children who had a sore throat. She talked a great deal of Ole Miss whose maid she had been. Once she had been taken very sick away from home and Ole Miss drove back with her immediately, and made Earby, the driver, race the horses all the way. She didn ' spare those horses that day. Miss didn ' , and she thought as much of that pair as her own children. She recalled how Miss had trusted her with her keys and that she had been faithful in all. Then she drifted on to her trip to Europe. ' Miss ' took me along because she said if she left me Marse Jeems would make me work. ' That darkey ain ' t made to work, ' Miss said; an ' I didn ' have much to do. Her voice was thin and fine and she spoke with a careful intonation. I would like to have had a pretty house, more like Belleview, she sighed. But, Miss Bettie, I jus ' couldn ' let Desdemona work out. Don ' you know those ' pore trash ' people told her she was too sloiv. I remember how she corrected me in some error I made. Ladies don ' say that, she said. As she was leaving she stopped where we were playing and told us how good our great-grandmother had been. I think she must have been good and kind and wise; all the virtue, Mary mentioned came under the term lady. She enjoined us to grow up like our great-grandmother and always be lady-like. That night it rained hard. Mother felt uneasv about Mary ' s cough and went over the next day to see if she needed anything. Mary was quite ill. Mother stayed with her ; and that night, calmly and without a struggle Mary ' s life ended. In an old bible mother has recorded : Died -, Mary Morgan, a Lady of Color. The TO00CX-S Sunshine wooed a Morning Glory, In the early morning time, Whispered words of fond affection. Sang a song of love in rhyme. But the Morning Glory answered. As she shook her radiant head; When the evening shades are falling. When the sun on hills is red You ' ll forget that you once wooed me, That our love was plighted true, You ' ll forget your love pursued me, Better now to say adieu At the noontime came the breezes. Breathing words of purest love, Touched the flow ' r with breath of sweetness, Wafted down from heav ' n above And the Morning Glory trembled At this lover ' s fond embrace. Softly sighed, then gently murmured As she raised to him her face: Though you woo me at the noontime While I reign in glory and pride, When I ' m fading in the evening Will you linger by my side? ' ' Now there came a bee a wooing, Ere the sun had sunk to rest, Kissed the lips of Morning Glory, Gently nestled on her breast. Through the night-time ' s weary vigil, Though your beauty may have gone, I shall linger with you sweetheart, Till the morning ' s early dawn Though life ' s cares may thicken round you Evermore will I be true. ' ' Softly closed the Morning Glory Blushing, whispered, I love you. — M. E. M. Six % ts fr0in fornix inxits. Monday, Sept. 5, 1892. Fine day. Paw and maw went to town today.

Miss Katie sent me and John Ross home today because we drew pictures on the back of the school- house. She said she was going to whip us but then decided to send us home until the trustees would meet tomorrow and decide whether we could come back or not. When I come home Pa and Ma and Bob had gone to town and I told Fan all about it and she didn ' t think it was so bad. I wasn ' t scared much. When they come home I told them after supper and they seemed to think I wasn ' t to blame much. I asked Pa if I could stay at home the rest of the year even if they did sa ' I could come back. He said I could if I would study so I am going over tomorrow and get my slate and things and study here. I guess I ' m stopping old Poplar Grove for good. Monday, Sept. 6, 1897. Clear and hot. Started to Normal today. Went in with Pa but as there was nothing to do but fix up our courses we all left at dinner time. Maude James and I walked out home together. There were about 50 new scholars there today. My course is U. S. History, Arithmetic, Higher English and Algebra. I never liked the town boys very much and never thought I would like town school very much but I beheve Fll like it at the Normal. There are a great many of the fellows from the country and from away so that the town fellows don ' t seem to be so much. Monday, Junk 17, 1901. A little cloudy today. This has been an important da} ' among those days of prominence which shall stand as mile-posts in the course of my onward journey in life towards its goal, be that a position of fame or merely an ordinary attainment. This night I have gradu- ated from Normal. What I have learned and to how great an extent I have developed during the past four years can only be measured by the accomplishments of the future. As I sit pondering over the diligence with which I labored on numerous and various works and on the general success of the accomplishment of them all, together with the satisfying experiences of tonight I feel, even now, a foretaste of the pleasure of the great broad life ahead. I shall ever revert to these past four years with mingled feelings and be conscious of the great benefit derived from such environments during the great period of intellectual awakening. Tuesday, Skpt. 17, 1901. Rainy day. Left Skinner ' s Tavern in Fairmont this morning and came to Morgantown. Several of the home fellows met me at the depot and brought me up town. Stopped at the Fraternity hall awhile and then came up to the University. They went with me to secure a room and boarding place. I am rooming at No. — , ■ St., Sunnyside. My roommate is Mr. Charlie , of town. Wrote a postal home. This evening I went over to the University and matriculated. I am classified as a Freshman and have selected my courses for the term, thus starting towards my A. B. I realize I am starting out on a new life and vvill try to guard myself well when I come up to the many new experiences which undoubtely beset my path. Whether I will be worsted by them or shall turn them to my own betterment can only be said in that seemingly far future time when I can add two more letters of the alphabet to my name and stand before the world as a college graduate. Friday, Feb. 20, 1903. Clear day. Received a letter from home. Went coasting awhile this evening with Miss . We had initiation tonight in our Frat. The performers were Messers and . We banqueted at the Delicitessen and gave the parting yell at 2:30. In looking up our last initiation I have been led to read quite a great deal in my diaries of last year and the year before, and to fall to re- flecting long over the recent past, regardless of the hour. This much of college life has been very pleasant and, I am persuaded, very bene- ficial, if education truly does consist in drawing out. To be able to see my narrowness of just a little while back, I contribute to a drawing out of what I then had uncultivated. Then I thought my greatness was close at hand and coming fast; now I see it only in the distance. How much broader a view this latter is. To be of great importance in school life in one ' s second j ' ear is not only practically impossible but rather undesirable. That is well enough for a Senior. So it is in after life. Don ' t coax Greatness to descend to meet you half way. If you do you may not be able to stop her but will let her go on by, and besides may be pulled down or knocked down your- self. Better let her stay where she belongs and climb up to her, then when you meet her on equal footing 3 ' ou will have some chance of matching her, say by the time a fellow is a Sophomore he begins to see how things really are. dhnral 0 dc. (With apologies to Mr. Whittier.l The choral society one autunin night, vSang a song that was out of sight. The Dean sang loudest, and his merry glee The mock bird answered from the tree. But when he glanced at the platform wide, Even and smooth from side to side. The sweet song died, and a vague unrest And an awful longing filled his breast. A wish which he made speedily known, Though it caused the students many groan. He ' d build the platform good and high To slope like a hill from the floor to the sky. The girls all looked and sighed, Ah me! We ' ll sit up there where all can see! We ' ll all dress up in white so fine. And the beautiful lights will on us shine. The Dean shall wear his broadcloth black; The boys can borrow whatever they lack. So he built the platform to slope like a hill And some of the structure stands there still. Then Reynolds came, with his genial smile. And climbed over chairs and pianos awhile, With a manner resigned, and a face more sweet, Than has often been my lot to meet. But e ' er Reverend Hillis came to talk Of the beautitul path, where we all should walk The fairies came through the roof one day And moved a part of the stairs away. But of all sad thoughts we can recall. The saddest are these: they didn ' t take all. Oh well for us this hope may be found, Some day it will all lie out on the ground. For in the hereafter those fairies may Throw the whole thing clear out of the way. Ta Jlnrn. Of all the girls, none are so good and true As thou, my Dora, though thy form and face Ma y lack, perchance, some of their charms and grace. For as the rising sun :r.akes bright the dew, And does the beauty of the rose renew, So wheresoever thou dost go, that place A gladness gains which nothing can efface. Sweet joy upon thy ways doth thee pursue. Yet for thj- charms I love thee not. A boy Wants love, not charms. The dove cooes to her mate. So give me love. The heart is not a toy To play with. Just thy love to me relate And I am glad. Of all the charms in thee, I think the greatest is thy love for me. — Frank L.a.%vrenci (Our Frnt. I rushed her with my might and main.

J The new student was a late arrival at the Beanery and desired to show prowess worthy of his membership. The old student was hunting an easy mark. The old student ' s search is rewarded: — Well, old man, 3 ' ou ' re just the one I was looking for; I ' ve got a log in my room and about ten o ' clock tonight we ' ll get that log out and — do you want in on this? You bet! Well, we ' ll dress for bed, roll that log downstairs and be in bed asleep when Captain Marshall comes up. The new student now goes off to give an impersonation of a Cheerful Idiot while the old student gets busy. He fills the new student ' s bed with pins, tacks and hardware, but principally with chesnut burrs. That night the performance takes place precisely as scheduled. The new student, from his bed of chestnut burrs, replies in a drowsy tone to the queries of Captain Marshall. Chestnut burrs are strangely affectionate and, even when the last particles are removed from your anatomy the memory remains. The new student now wears a look of sad experience. Such is a Beanery initiation. — Kazoo. ' I wish I were a bird — That is no wish of mine, I ' d rather be a bottle And always full of wine. — Byrde Livingston. LAMENTATIONS. XVI J OW it came to pass that the Wise Men of the Nation were to battle in the Sport of | Basketball against the Fools and much peo- ple resolved in their Hearts to be on the Works. 2. And a large Bully Boy higUt Tommy, who was strong in muscle resolved for the good of the People and for Political Reasons to take to the Sport of the Evening a bright colored maiden of the neighboring kingdom of Kappadelta. 8. So he hied himself to the Long Speaker. 4. Now it happened that the bright-colored maiden did dwell with a Damsel, and be- hold that one made a grievous Error and went to the Long Speaker for to speak with Bully Tommy. 5. But Bully Tommy was not aw.ire of the grievous Error, and he up and asked the maiden (who was not the bright colored maiden) if perchance she would go with him to the Sport of the Evening. (i. And the Damsel rejoiced in her Heart, for such speaking heard she not often. 7. So she answered and said, Yea, verily, that will I do. Selah. 8. Now when it was come Evening, Bull} ' Tommy clothed himself in Purple and fine Linen, and straightway betook himself to the Abode of the bright colored maiden. 0. And after one had ushered him into the Audience Room he made inquiry after the bright colored maiden. 10. But when she appeared, behold, she had not on her Glad Rags, for she was not at all bidden to go. 11. Then Bully spoke, saying, Art thou not ready for the Sport of the Evening. 12. But she answering said, My lord, thy servant has received no Bid. 13. And he said, Verily, verily, this day did I bid you go with me. 14. Therefore the Damsel perceived the mistake that had been accomplished and she explained it into Sig Bully Tommy. irj. And straightway after about the space of an Hour he understood the matter. ( For he was not slow of understanding). IG. But the bright colored maiden, because she feared lest she who made the Error might bring some Evil to pass, resolved to hide the matter in her Heart. 17. So Bully Tommy and the companion of the bright colored maiden went together to the Sport of the Evening. Hallelujah. 15. But the Fools beat the Wise Men in the Sport. li). And Bully Tommy cussed the Long Speaker. Amen. That ctzadaut Smtk.

In consideration of the fact, gentlemen, in consideration of the fact, in consideration of the fact, that I represent the Music School of the West Virginia University, and in consideration of the fact that the music school is a rapidl} growing institution, with the best glee club in the country, and in consideration of the fact, that this glee club is becoming better and better, I shall speak, not of the past but of the future. The glee club under the able management of Lord Kidney Floyd Blitzen, may be described as the crystallization of a homo- genous coherent mass from a hetrogenous incoherent mass. There is nothing so good as music. In consideration of the fact that I never deviate from my program I shall quote a few lines from the other Shakespeare, in order to prove that we think alike. The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with the concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections are dark as Here the colored legislator from Fayette called time on the speaker, and in consideration of the fact that a riot was impending, Shakespeare was carried off the platform. . dlass lltquirements.

Side Talks aUith 33ctgs and Oliiig Fr-d W-d — A young man should be care- ful when starting out in societ} . Don ' t for- get that a woman can make a fool of any man. St-th-va — Swell head is a disease often found in Preps and Freshmen and some- times in higher classmen. We advise you to consult a specialist at once. If treatment is begun in the early stages o f the disease a cure is sometimes effected. H-gy — A new student should not try to make himself prominent the finst day he is in town. Find a place to room and board, rest up for a week, at least, before you be- come a king of the Campus. Prep Ald-rs-H— es, you are following the right course in order to become like your room-mate. If you continue to eat, dress, walk, smoke, sleep, and comb your hair as he does, we see no reason why you shoiUd not resemble him after a few years. Mr. S-li-rr — You trust be mistaken about the young lady. We have made diligent inquiry, but no one else seems to have sten Miss McGinnis at the Military bill. You were evidently excited that night and mis- understood the name, when the young lady was presented to you. M-hl- and P-n-y — Of course if you think enough of a fellow to kiss him it is your own affair, but we do not think that the operation should be performed in public, especially on the streets. P-yd — Once a week is often enough to wear a shirt, some people do not even wear them that often. To use your own judgment and your friends ' shirt is the best way to settle the matter. M-rg-ii — You will make a politician in time, but you must learn to take defeat gracefully and not to use literary society tactics on all occasions. IF-; ))i-H— You have evidently missed your calling. We advi.se you to give up ball playing and take a course in farming. J?efW?ei ' - Cupid ' s Happy Hunting Ground is situated on Willey street, between High and Front streets. We understand that young men are welcr med at all hours of the day or night. To fully appreciate the insti- tution vou should call and be jollied for a few hours. Peun R — It is against the laws of the State of West Virginia to go hunting on vSunday. You and your German frie id are liable to a fine and imprisonment for the violation of the laws. See Code. Prcji — There was some talk about Mr. Y-un- being hazed, but we are requested to keep the matter out of the paper, by one of his fraternity brothers. C- ))(-u— Even if you do know more about things in general than the rest of humanity you should not talk so much in public. Sometimes the other fellow feels bad when reminded about his ignorance. Misn B-y—Oi course it is not your fault, but do be careful about turning those fas- cinating eyes on the young man. Many men have died for less. Miss Ell-t — You should have an older per- son along when you go walking with a 5 ' oung man. It is not at all broper to hold-hands when other people can see you. Miss Edw-r-s — From what you say, we do not think that you have found the right man yet. Keep on changing every week or two and finally you will find one to suit. 31iss B-rn-s — Don ' t have a trader for every person you know each time you see them. They may think, after a time, that you are fishing for compliments. Mr. Y-ny — We would advise waiting until at least the second act before helping yourself to a reserved seat. You know even men who have no profession are sometimes apt to be late. Mi: P-ivs-its— The best thing to do when you find the parlor filled with other people ' s guests is to stay but a few minutes and return the next evening. You did the proper thing. (2) It is more proper to send flowers. Sick people cannot always enjoy fruit. Mi: W-ts-n — No, Toady, it is not proper to invite a young lady friend to town when you are devoting your whole time to another girl there. We are glad to hear that you succeeded so well in keeping them apart. The division of your time at the two homes was an excellent scheme. Miss W-n-ns — At sixteen it is the most natural thing in the world to laugh and even immoderate laughter is excusable. I sym- pathize with you, for I was once that sort of fun-loving girl. But you may control your self if you try, and it is better if you can help it not to show your amusement in places where it is out of harmony with the occasion. Still, in great seriousness, I want to say that a sense of humor, and the talent for getting fun out of little things, are valuable addi- tions to anj ' one ' s pleasure on the road of life. 3Iiss lir-iii-r— Dancing is not consi- dered as wicked now as it once was, and many professing Christians — church members — dance and their churches do not object. You can do as yaur conscience dictates. (2) You may go driving if your parents do not object. (.3) There is no harm in wearing a gentleman ' s ring, but it is better not to do it. salm 1. 1. Blessed is the student that walketh not in the displeasure pf the Colonel, nor standeth in the way of the Council, nor sitteth in the seat of the flunker. 2.

As can be determined bj ' read- ing Bradstreet ' s reports or the Eamilj Bible, he is from Peign Yaing. You think that place is in the Celestial Kingdom, as a whole lot of other people think, yet 3-ou are all wrong. It is in New York. Do not, how- ever, be ashamed of yourself for being mistaken; why Uncle Sam went wrong on it himself. One of the editor ' s friends wrote him a long let- ter one day, took it to Uncle Samuel ' s man, and said, ' ' How much postage to Peign Yaing? The minion of your Uncle Samuel responded promptly, Postage to China is ten cents. Our artist, specially engaged went wrong, too, as you see. He drew this portrait over the long distance telephone, and knowing his subject was in Peign Yaing, he thought there was a wireless teleg- raphy attachment from the Land of the Great Dragon. But as this portrait is so true to life in all other respects it is printed with the above explanation. As you see the editor is an unassuming young man, and is in good and regular standing (he expects to pay all dues after he graduates) in the Baptist Sunday School and the Mechan- ical Engineering department of the University. He is something less than six feet three inches tall, and weighed more than one hundred and twenty pounds after dinner on Christmas. Because of the able y work of our artist further description is unnecessary. (Let it be added in a whisper that he is a member of the Glee Club, and talks about remaining a bachelor. Cause of both unknown.) The Assistant Editor-in-Chief, well described by her accompanying portrait, is a product of the Southern land. She brings its golden radiance with her in her sunny temper — and her hair. She is the ideal twentieth century girl and has positively never been known to giggle. The independent, strenuous life is hers. It is easily seen by an inspection of this annual how large a share the asisstant editor must have had in the inception and progress. She posi- tively has no time for the young man. Even her closest friends have never heard her apply her most sacred word ' ' dandy to a young man on more t.|?an one occasion. Most inspiring to relate however, the assistant editor has shown a decided dislike to that most modern utility — the alarm clock. It would take up too much time to enumerate the various positions and intentions of the assistant editor; but suffice it to say that she positively is going to be a teacher, for that is such a dandy thing to be, and housekeeping is most horrid anyway. Our artist has caught the business manager in one of his characteristic attitudes. This , young man escaped from Weston . ' several years ago, and hnding the f ' ' ■ , University life so congenial he remained. He is known as a gentleman of energy and get-at-it-ive- ness; and, incidental!}- he makes the street look narrow when he walks along. The business manager is never happier than when, pouring forth dense volumes of smoke, he tells how hard he worked the night before the last examination. Y et his great work is that of an organizer, a manager, and a draughtsman. As a manager he tried his hand on a certain far famed musical aggregation at the University, but since his efforts did not seem to be properly appreciated by another higher salaried manager, he prudently resigned. As a draughtsman he has shown his ability to draw advertisements from the business men, and photographs from organizations and close fisted college professors; likewise to draw at a meerschaum (?) and sundry coffin nails. His future is assured. He expects shortly to visit His Majesty the Emperor of Germany. Not only his name but also other traits and habits will doubtless cause his hearty reception among that stolid and ever-thirsty people. The Grand Vizier of the Literary department (observe carefully this most correct portrait) is a very urbane and stout young fellow. It has always been a great mystery to himself and to his friends where he secured his marked erudition and versatility, since his early life was for the most part spent in raising Cain and yellow jackets ' nests over in the peaceful state of Brotherly Love. It is surmised, however, that his clear diction, grand style, and correct use of the various rhetorical devices are obtained from a close and continued perusal of the justly renowned works of the celebrated historian and novelist. Sir Nicholas Carter, whose volumes he studies assiduously. The artist is to be congratulated- on having secured such a natu- ral effect in this portrait of the Literary Editor, who in common with most fat and sunny haired people, is good natured — sometimes. tr- - This editor ' s future is undecided. In all probability he will either devote his time to the writing of romances involving the sixth sense or become Society Editor of the University publications. The various organizations and fraternities have been looked after for the Annual by the department whose editor ' s portrait adorns this page. It does not require a phrenologist or a University pro- fessor to tell that he has a keen intellect and an ever present longing for current detail in the arrangement of things. He was selected for this position on ac- count of his admirable fitness, combining in himself, as he does, suaviter in modo et fortiter in re. In his sophomore year all the other .chemistry students bowed low to his stai , and now in Junior Law, lo, this editor ' s . ; . name leadsall the rest. In social life his success is no less marked, although it is rumored that life holds no more joy for him since the recent marriage of one of his friends — a young lady. With all the gentleman ' s sagacity, however, he was unable to corral the preps for a picture. It was a very arduous undertaking to secure a back-ground which would show up our preps to any advant- age whatever; then at the securing of this at a heavy expense the preps could not be captured. Possibly had it not been for the sudden rise in the price of molasses, the editor would have succeeded in this also. His life work is not fully decided, but his future will likely be spent in being a candidate for a place in the Supreme Court of Appeals. As would naturally be supposed the editor having charge of the Athletic Department, is a gay and festive 3 ' outh. He is familiarl}- known to his friends as Prep, possibly on account of his meekness His study appli which is only surpassed by his ability to knock. ' cation blank would tell a story of this kind. 8:30 — 9:30. Analytical Geometry, if it can be changed to this period. 0:30 — 10:30. Drawing, if this hour in- stead of the afternoon hour will suit the instructor. 10:30 — 11:30. German 4, if the profes- sor will give it at this hour instead of German 6. 1 1 :3o — 12 :3o. Lecture to Campus Class, How we are Losing our Freedom. He is an ardent worshipper of Terpsi- chore, and a favorite in under-graduate circles. The gray matter of the Athletic Editor is greatly disturbed at present concerning his future vacation, whether he will be a leader of the german at Newport, a Civil Engineer on the Wabash, Manager of President Dreyfuss ' Stars, or a lecturer on Social Usage. Our special artist has increased his repulation greatly by this sketch of the Illustrating Editor. She is as sunny tem- pered as the liowers she paints. All the natural beauty sur- rounding the University is a feast to her, and serves as a never failing source of inspira- tion. When you have looked these pages over carefully and noted the general scope of the illustrations, as well as the particular designs, you will cer- tainly agree that our illustrat- ing editor, in addition to her has a distinct genius for creative work. Yet a carefuUness in detail, few only of her man} ' drawings were used, owing to the lack of space. She has whole Pecks of them remaining, each showing strong in- dividuality and correct design. Were you to visit her den, you would see sketches from the Monongahela by moon-light, star-light drives over Cheat that are too lovely for anything. Her origi- nal drawings The Reconciliation, Sunshine and Showers, Lovers ' Retreat, To Have and to Hold, Campus Strollers and others have received merited praise from the leading art critics. She has not yet decided which particular line of artistic work she will follow, but at present is considering an offer to become por- trait painter to the oldest daughter of the President of the United States. It seems strange that a 3 ' oung man who seldom smiles and never laughs would make a good editor for a joke department, yet such an editor is on the Monticola staff. Notwithstanding his serious and sober mien no one can dis- cover the point in a Faculty joke quicker than he. nor does the University have a student who tells a story better. This superior ability in many a student would lead to frivolity, but not so with our joke editor. He has decided to stand high among the jurists of the world, and now spends his days in study and nights in thought. In addition to his assiduous study and laborious research, he takes a hearty interest in all the various activi- ties of University life. His zeal in law only is stronger than his love of military work; of which department in the University he stands at the head. 3 4 ;-; The influence of his star forecasts his life something like this: Infancy Baby Childhood Sammie At School ...

THE STORE THE STUDENTS BUILT When I openeil the Acme Book Store six } ' ears ago last March I found the students my most loyal friends and supporters. The Acme was then a small affair. Now its combined business is the largest of its kind in the state. I find that our new store at Clarksburg is being loy- ally patronized by the boys who used to go to school here. I WISH TO THANK YOU . s students for having so kindly stood by and patronized this business which has bren my chief ambition. I have endeavored to give you a square deal at all times and hope to be remembered by yon even after you have left college. H. L. SWISHER, PRESIDENT. The Acme Publishing Comp ny MORGANTOWN.
